ESKIMO FIGURES
(4) "Siberian House," kochlinee (Fig. 811), and afterward "Two Eskimos Running Away," mugalonik enuck okparuktuk (Fig. 812), from Big Diomede Island.
(5) "Wolverine," kojtsick, from Cape Prince of Wales; also known as the "Wolf," kulonik. The same as the "Porcupine" (p. 137).
(6) "Little Boat," kayak (Fig. 813) , from King Island. The Eskimos say this figure should be called "Two Boats," malruk-kayak, because two men are plainly visible; and as a kayak will hold only one man there must be two boats.
